Plans

Plans are made, plans are changed.  There are many things I want to do and some of these things are still in the planning stage.  Now to implement some of them.  First plan was to change the backyard from a storage yard grass and some plants into a place to entertain.  Even though I have entertained out there I want to have a showier place.  So far, I have a small retaining wall built and the slope at the back of the yard has most of the landscaping in, which needs to be finished.  Further plans include a raised bed for veggies, pavers to extend the patio, set up the barrel fountain, and paint the bench.  Long term is put in more plants and level out the grass.

The front yard is in demo mode with pulling out of existing plants, replanting them in other areas.  Next will be enlarging the garden areas, replanting, and deciding the ground cover.  Perhaps I should put in a sprinkler system, but not sure I have the energy (another consideration). 

It'll probably be the end of summer before all the changes in the yards are completed.  Then there are plans that include hiring people to do.  Re stuccoing the house and having the trim painted. Inside the house walls should be repaired, all the knicks and bruises from wheelchair collisions, and then painted. And finally, new carpet!

Someday, I'd like to sit back and enjoy the completion of my plans!
